Custom Songs® are the ideal entertainment for private parties, corporate events, political fund-raisers, product launches, birthdays, weddings, and charity parties. Combining the society reporting of Dominick Dunne with the delicious rhymes of Cole Porter, Melissa Levis' Custom Songs® are a witty and sophisticated gift for the person who has everything.

Exclusively made to order, Melissa's Custom Songs® celebrate the essence of a special occasion. Melissa interviews family, friends, and co-workers to get the inside "scoop" on the honoree. She then weaves the information into an original song or parody that delights the mind and touches the heart. For both the honoree and his/her guests, an event featuring a Custom Song® is an unforgettable experience because the entertainment celebrates their jokes, families, history, escapades, foibles, and accomplishments..

Melissa has written and performed songs for individuals and corporations including Peggy Siegal, Jonathan Tisch, The UJA, The Guggenheim Museum and VOGUE magazine. Her tunes are so catchy, Bianca Jagger, Geraldine Ferraro, Nicole Miller, and Senator Eugene McCarthy have been heard chiming in during the chorus.

Melissa's Custom Songs® range in length from five-minute serenades to thirty-minute Custom Cabarets (as she performed for 400 guests at Barbara and Donald Tober's 25th anniversary at the Plaza Hotel in April 1998). Custom Songs® can also be used as soundtracks on film and video productions (as she created for Bill Zabel's 50th birthday video in December 1997).

The cost of a Custom Song® ranges from $2000 to $5000. The fee includes a live performance, a cassette recording, and the lyrics printed on parchment suitable for framing.
